Discover The True Story Of The Life Changing Game Show in November 2018


​LOS ANGELES, CA (March 29, 2018) – BOOM! Studios is proud to announceFORM OF A QUESTION, an all-new graphic novel memoir from the acclaimed creative team of writer Andrew J. Rostan and artist Kate Kasenow (An Elegy for Amelia Johnson) arriving in stores November 2018. FORM OF A QUESTION is a moving memoir revisiting one of the most formative events in Andrew Rostan’s life. You see, Rostan is excellent at remembering facts and recalling the memories he associates with those facts—memories of deaths in the family and extraordinary people. But at the age of twenty-two and suddenly a contestant on the very game show he associates with the happiest moments in his life, Rostan’s about to realize that existence is like JEOPARDY! and all the answers are staring you in the face if only you ask the right questions.

“When BOOM! Studios asked me to tell my story, it was because they were sure they had an important message: that what makes you feel different from others can help you accomplish what you never imagined you could,” said Andrew J. Rostan. “ I’m proud to have written this book; however, what excites me is that FORM OF A QUESTION is more Kate’s achievement than mine. She combines non-fiction and magical realism to create a vivid, sensual art with emotion filling every panel. Everyone who cares about our medium will be astonished by what Kate has done.”

“There is, quite literally, something for everyone in this book and I should know because I got to draw new and fantastic things with every page!” said artist Kate Kasenow.

FORM OF A QUESTION is the latest release from BOOM! Studios’ ambitious Archaia imprint, home to graphic novels such as Mouse Guard by David Petersen;Rust by Royden Lepp; Bolivar by Sean Rubin; Jane by Aline Brosh McKenna and Ramón K. Pérez; and licensed series like Jim Henson’s The Power of the Dark Crystal and Jim Henson’s Labyrinth: Coronation.

“The greatest story in life we can tell is our own – and that’s what makes FORM OF A QUESTION so unforgettable,” said Sierra Hahn, Senior Editor, BOOM! Studios. “Andrew and Kate beautifully capture the complex relationships we have with entertainment, our family and, most of all, with ourselves.”

Print copies of FORM OF A QUESTION will be available for sale in November 2018 at local comic book shops (use comicshoplocator.com to find the nearest one), book stores or at the BOOM! Studios webstore. Digital copies can be purchased from content providers, including comiXology, iBooks, Google Play, and the BOOM! Studios app.

Star Trek: The Next Generation returns to comics in new miniseries!

Spins out of the smash-hit Mirror Universe adventures!
SAN DIEGO, CA (March 24th, 2018) – After the stellar success of Star Trek: The Next Generation: Mirror Broken, which introduced the alternate “Mirror” villainous version of the U.S.S. Enterprise crew to comics, and the excitement around the upcoming five-week mega-event Star Trek: The Next Generation: Through The Mirror, IDW now returns to the original, or “prime,” universe this August in Star Trek: The Next Generation: Terra Incognita, beginning a brand-new wave of episodic miniseries!
 
This six-issue miniseries reveals unique, focused stories where beloved characters find themselves in new, unfamiliar situations, in a format echoing the “done-in-one” nature of the television series. However, each issue also features a subtle throughline of an evil Mirror Universe crewmember established in the Mirror Broken and Through the Mirror series remaining on the ship, wreaking havoc while posing as his prime universe counterpart. Featuring the best of both the Mirror and original universes, Terra Incognita is a unique new step in this riveting saga.
 
Assembling a dream team of Star Trek talent, writers on the previous two Mirror Universe series Scott Tipton and David Tipton (Star Trek/Doctor Who: Assimilation Squared, Star Trek: City on the Edge of Forever, Star Trek/Planet of the Apes: The Primate Directive) will be joined by artist Tony Shasteen (Star Trek, Star Trek: Boldly Go, Star Trek: Discovery: Light of Kahless).
 
“We can’t thank the fans enough for the enormous response to Mirror Broken and Through the Mirror. Clearly, the love of Picard and the entire Enterprise crew runs deep, and who are we to deny fans what they want?! This epic team-up of Scott and David Tipton plus artist Tony Shasteen is a true all-star roster of Star Trek comics talent,” said Editor Sarah Gaydos.
 
"As much as I love all iterations of Star Trek, getting to write for The Next Generation always feels like coming home. And getting to continue the work we've been doing with the Mirror Universe is an unexpected bonus," said Co-writer Scott Tipton.
 
"We hope to bring Trek fans brand-new TNG tales that feel like episodes they somehow missed on television, along with a few shocking surprises!" agreed Co-writer David Tipton.
 
The first arc of The Next Generation Mirror Universe adventures, Mirror Broken, is available now as a complete trade paperback collection (ISBN: 978-1-68405-145-8), and don’t miss the 5-week event this May, Through The Mirror, from the celebrated creative team.

Batman and Robin Swing Into Riverdale in New Archie/DC Comics Crossover Comic

ARCHIE MEETS BATMAN 66 #1 cover by Mike AllredBatman and Robin are swinging their way to Riverdale and things are going to get really wild, really fast! Archie Comics and DC Entertainment are proud to present the crossover adventure 50 years in the making: ARCHIE MEETS BATMAN 66! The groovy six-issue mini-series from writers Jeff Parker and Michael Moreci, penciler Dan Parent, inker J. Bone, colorist Kelly Fitzpatrick, and letterer Jack Morelli will see Gotham’s caped crusaders (as seen in the classic 1960s TV series) on a mission to Riverdale that upends the lives of Archie and the gang in a madcap adventure for the ages.
 
"Following the success of a monster hit like HARLEY & IVY MEET BETTY & VERONICA is tough, but not impossible, and we're going to prove that with ARCHIE MEETS BATMAN '66, which meshes two of the most iconic characters in the world," said Archie Comics CEO/Publisher Jon Goldwater. "Like Batman, Archie is one of the most famous, global characters in comics, and we'll see the best of both heroes in the pages of this mini-series, including tons of cameos and plenty of action."
 
“We considered many different combinations for this next pairing between DC Universe and Archie characters, and Batman ’66 and Archie Andrews really stood out as the perfect choice,” said Hank Kanalz, DC SVP of Editorial Strategy and Administration. “What DC and Archie started with HARLEY & IVY MEET BETTY & VERONICA last year continues with this off-the-wall pairing of Archie and The Caped Crusader; we believe fans of the classic TV shows and their modern interpretations will be excited about this new series.”
 
“Look, we all want to know what Jughead and The Joker make of each other and we want to see the romance dynamics of Riverdale High thrown completely out of gear by bringing in Dick Grayson and Barbara Gordon,” said co-writer Jeff Parker. “It’s very cool to work with a heavy hitting team of top talent. Michael and I synched up immediately with plotting, and Dan and J. Bone are the exact right cartoonists to make a mash-up like this really work.”
 
"It's rare that you get a call to work with character/property that you love, but to do TWO at the same time? That's more than I can ask for,” added co-writer Michael Moreci. “And to work with such an amazing team -- this is one of those rare dream projects, and I can't wait to bring all this love to the series."
 
For artist Dan Parent, this team-up is a childhood dream come true as well. “I’ve been lucky enough to have a career drawing characters I love from my childhood. But the first show I ever got excited about (and my mom can verify this) was the original Batman series!” “So, the chance to combine these two big influences in my life into one project is a total thrill. And to work on it with Jeff and Michael, as well as my friend and colleague J. Bone, makes it even that much sweeter!”
 
The action and intrigue of ARCHIE MEETS BATMAN ’66 begins when a team of Gotham’s most notorious villains decide they need a new base of operations, one with a resident millionaire and fewer superheroes to stop them. Their plan doesn’t go unnoticed for long, and soon enough, Riverdale High has a couple new transfer students: Dick Grayson and Barbara Gordon!

ARCHIE MEETS BATMAN ’66 #1 goes on sale July 18, 2018 with a main cover by Mike Allred and variant covers by Derek Charm, Francesco Francavilla, Sandy Jarrell (with Kelly Fitzpatrick colors), Dan Parent (with J. Bone inks, Tito Pena colors), and Ty Templeton.

Titan brings the hit stop-motion superhero animated comedy series from Stoopid Buddy Stoodios to comics
 
Friday, March 19, 2018 -- In advance of the season three premiere, Titan Comics announced today that Crackle’s “SuperMansion,” the hit stop-motion animated comedy series from Stoopid Buddy Stoodios with Bryan Cranston(Trumbo, “Breaking Bad”), Jillian Bell (“Workaholics”), Yvette Nicole Brown (“Community”), Heidi Gardner(“Saturday Night Live”), Tucker Gilmore (Frozen), and Zeb Wells (The Amazing Spider-Man, “Robot Chicken”) as well as Keegan-Michael Key (Key & Peele) and Chris Pine (Star Trek Beyond, Wonder Woman) who both earned Emmy® nominations in the Character Voice-Over Performance category, is coming to comics on April 4th.  Additionally, Titan Comics released the two-part comic book series covers and a first-look at the inside pages, which is written by season three show writer Barry Hutchinson with art by Jake Elphick (“Millarworld”).


The brand-new two-part comic book series is based on the stop-motion superhero animated comedy series from Stoopid Buddy Stoodios. Since premiering on Crackle, the series has captured audiences with its action, humor and irreverent look at the world of superheroes.  “SuperMansion” follows the adventures of Titanium Rex (voiced by Cranston, also executive producer) as he struggles to live with and fight alongside the wildly different and often less-than-focused team members of The League of Freedom.
 
In addition, the show's co-creators and executive producers Zeb Wells and Matthew Senreich (“Robot Chicken”),will appear at the Chicago Comic & Entertainment Expo (C2E2) on Friday, April 6th for a “SuperMansion” panel discussion at 2:45pm and autograph signing of the first comic book at 4:15pm.
 
Viewers can binge-watch all 25 episodes of “SuperMansion,” and tune-in for season three when it premieres this spring with six all-new 22-minute episodes on the streaming network.


“SuperMansion” is created by Zeb Wells and Matthew Senreich, who also act as executive producers under their production company Stoopid Buddy Stoodios alongside Seth Green, John Harvatine IV and Eric Towner.  Bryan Cranston and James Degus also serve as executive producers under their production banner Moon Shot Entertainment.  The series is distributed by Sony Pictures Television Inc.

STELLAR TAKES OFF THIS JUNE

Strap in for an all-new science fiction tale from
Joseph Keatinge and Bret Blevins

PORTLAND, OR, 03/19/2018 — Writer Joseph Keatinge (GLORY, SHUTTER) and legendary artist Bret Blevins (New Mutants, Sleepwalker) team up for the spacefaring series STELLAR—created by Robert Kirkman and Marc Silvestri—this June from Image Comics/Skybound Entertainment.

Stellar was taken as a child and transformed into the ultimate weapon, one that would end an intergalactic war. She succeeded…at everything except finding peace. Now, she’s reduced to bounty hunting, scouring the worlds she’s broken in search of redemption. 

But there are other weapons loose in the galaxy, and it seems they just can’t leave the war behind them.

“STELLAR is a capstone to everything I've written before, in a lot of ways,” said Keatinge. “It's a sci-fi book reflecting on sins’ past effect on the future, and overcoming them to go in a new direction. Robert bringing on Bret Blevins is an absolute dream come true, as his work has been a huge inspiration, ever since his work on Sleepwalker. That said, there's nothing like this in his entire oeuvre, and I'm hoping it's the first of many collaborations together.”

This June, STELLAR will transport you to another dimension—one filled with crashed spaceships, fast-talking aliens, and ageless wonders. 

“STELLAR is a science fiction drama with lots of spectacular action, grit, and a great deal of heart—the perfect combination!” said Blevins. “It’s also an invigorating career turning point for me, because Skybound has afforded me the opportunity and the time to create the very best work I’ve ever done in comics. Robert Kirkman’s concept and Joseph Keatinge’s rich and subtle script have made for a joyous collaboration and inspired me to reach beyond what I thought I could do and surprise myself, and I hope, the readers. I’ve never worked harder on a comic book, and I’ve never been more excited for a project to reach the audience.”

STELLAR #1 (Diamond code: APR180484) hits comic shops Wednesday, June 13th. The final order cutoff deadline for comics retailers is Monday, May 21st.

BRUTAL REVENGE TALE SHANGHAI RED DELVES INTO THE UNDERSIDE OF PORTLAND HISTORY—LITERALLY

3/19/2018

0 Comments

 
Picture
PORTLAND, OR, 03/19/2018 — Eisner-nominated writer Christopher Sebela (High Crimes, Heartthrob, We(l)come Back), artist Joshua Hixson (The Black Woods), and letterer Hassan Otsmane-Elhaou (Felix & Macabber) team up for the all-new revenge thriller SHANGHAI RED, coming this June from Image Comics. 

“Moving to Portland, Oregon was the thing that jump-started my comics career, so I wanted to pay it back the best way I know how: by putting it in a book,” said Sebela. “After studying its history and going on a tour of the Shanghai Tunnels, I came out with Red, our main character. She’s as bloody and complicated as the city she’s come back to, and getting to do justice to both of them alongside Josh and Hassan has made this book a dream/nightmare come true for me.”

Red is one of hundreds shanghaied out of Portland in the late 1800s. Drugged, kidnapped, and sold to a ship’s captain, she wakes up on a boat headed out to sea for years, unable to escape or reveal who she truly is. Now, she’s on her way back, in a boat covered in blood, to find her family—and to track down the men responsible for stealing her life out from under her.

“I’m really excited about what we’ve all put into this book,” said Hixson. “It has everything I love about a good revenge tale, but it’s also not without heart. It’s violent and bloody but centered around a story about family and belonging. That’s what drew me to the book the most.”

“Josh Hixson's art is going to blow you away,” added Otsmane-Elhaou. “It captures the grit, the desperation, the desolation, and most importantly, the humanity of it all. Where he's been hiding, who knows, but getting to see him work his magic on every page is awesome, and I'm just trying to stay out of his way!”

This June, SHANGHAI RED will take you on a violent journey of vengeance, identity, and family. 

SHANGHAI RED #1, Cover A by series artist Josh Hixson (Diamond code: APR180478) and Cover B by Tyler Boss (Diamond code: APR180479), hits comic book stores Wednesday, June 20th. The final order cutoff deadline for comics retailers is Monday, May 28th.
